Sponsoring a Syrian Refugee Family

Noor is inviting participation to a Noor fund for private sponsorship of a Syrian refugee family of five with the help of Lifeline Syria.

For some background facts & statistics about the Syrian refugee situation – click here.

For detailed information about sponsoring groups – click here and here.

A family of five requires $29,700 to cover minimum estimated set-up and living costs for the family for a period of 12 months, according to official guides. We hope to collect $35,000, to provide a modest buffer against contingencies. Excess over this amount may be applied towards sponsorship of additional individuals, if the group so decides.

If you are interested in joining the Noor sponsoring group with a donation of $1,000 (or more), please e-mail khadijah.kanji@gmail.com.  

Note:
Information session by Lifeline Syria are very helpful. Please click here for details of sessions on Wednesday September 23 (Oakville Town Hall) and Thursday October 8 (Noor Cultural Centre)


    About Noor Cultural Centre

    We aim to be a centre for Islamic practice and learning, and celebration of Islamic culture, while respecting the diversity in peoples and religions as directed by the Qur’an [49.13]: We have created you out of male and female, and have made you into nations and tribes, in order that you might come to know one another. In the sight of God the noblest among you is the one who is most deeply conscious of God.

    NOTE: Noor Cultural Centre no longer maintains a physical location

    Its 123 Wynford Drive location was sold in October 2021 after 18 months of continuous lockdown for COVID-19. Since March 2020, all Noor programming has been virtual, and is planned to continue thus, insh'Allah.
